From pick up to delivery was around 9 hours not a week and a half. For about a tenth the cost.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by laundry don’t forget about fluff and fold. It’s a game changer.

http://ed2dq.com/2019/03/16/formula-one-qualifying/#respondSun, 17 Mar 2019 03:49:58 +0000http://ed2dq.com/?p=5897I decided to check out Formula One Qualifying after flying through “Formula One: Drive to Survive” on Netflix. I remember from watching some Formula One earlier that it’s much easier to get a good result from qualifying than overtaking in the race.

And it’s tense to see which 5 drivers won’t get into q2, 20 start, 5 are eliminated. And to q3, with only ten spaces.

Unlike NASCAR where it’s pretty easy to pass and qualifying means less, it’s hard to do well in FormulaOne if you start say 20th.

I DVR’d the Australia Formula One race that starts at 12:30am tomorrow and I will see if knowing more about the teams from the Netflix show makes it more interesting. It should be fun.

I feel like her story just started. Not as fabulous as the Lindy West book of the same name. Book ***1/2 TV Show ***

http://ed2dq.com/2019/03/14/great-acting/#respondFri, 15 Mar 2019 01:56:13 +0000http://ed2dq.com/?p=5893I was lucky to see really great young lead actresses in two movies today.

The first was the awkward and uncomfortable “Eighth Grade” which stars Elsie Fisher as a shy eighth grader. Very believable and accurate performance of one of the toughest parts of life. **1/2

The second was the very good “Lady Bird” starring Saoirse Ronan as a very independent high school senior at a Catholic school. I think this got a lot right about moms and daughters and about moving on at 18. ***

I look forward to more work by both Elsie Fisher and Saoirse Ronan and it’s wonderful to see great performances. Helped that they were both free on Amazon Prime too.

I think I agree with her that the animation style makes the rabbits all look very similar.

Worth a watch and I definitely need to read the book finally.

http://ed2dq.com/2019/03/11/formula-one-drive-to-survive-12/#respondTue, 12 Mar 2019 03:47:08 +0000http://ed2dq.com/?p=5886A wicked entertaining and tense documentary series on Netflix. It was about the 2018 season and I hope there is another about 2019.

What’s going on behind the scenes is as interesting as what happens on the track. Not much about the two biggest teams right now, Mercedes and Ferrari but lots on other teams. Including Red Bull, Haas, Williams, McLaren and Renault.

Actually much more interesting because I don’t closely follow Formula One and didn’t know the results. I actually pay a lot more attention to NASCAR. both the Xfinity series (think AAA) and the highest level the Cup series.

I find qualifying actually more interesting than the races in Formula One, because it is often very hard to pass.
